Better Lovers – the band featuring ex-Every Time I Die members Jordan Buckley, Clayton "Goose" Holyoak, and Stephen Micciche alongside former The Dillinger Escape Plan vocalist Greg Puciato and Will Putney of Fit For An Autopsy – now streaming the final single from their upcoming record Highly Irresponsible due out October 25, "Love As An Act Of Rebellion".
"Here's one more appetizer before the Highly Irresponsible main course is served this Friday," said Buckley. "Some crispy green beans before your Buddha's Fest. A blooming onion before your slow roasted prime rib. Unlimited soup and salad before your Tour of Italy. 'Love As An Act of Rebellion' is now out everywhere. Learn the words, answer The Knock™️!"
Puciato added: "This song has become one of my personal top three or four on the record. I knew it was the final song in the tracklisting as soon as I heard the instrumental. It runs the gamut emotionally, starting with this immediate frenetic and urgent desperation, and then ending in this place of uneasy acceptance; acceptance with a question mark.
"Extremely satisfying emotionally and stylistically to write vocals to this one. To stick with Jordan's food analogies, to me this is a full course meal in one song. If I had to show people one song off of the record and one song only, I think this would be the one."
Highly Irresponsible is available for pre-order here. Better Lovers will hit the road this November with Full Of Hell, Spy, and Cloakroom (with a few dates featuring Gouge Away in place of Full Of Hell at the end). Get all the dates below and get your tickets here.
